When Empress Ji came out, she still had a faint smile on her face and looked no different from before.
After shouting, he immediately put away his smile, looked at Yun Fenghuang, and said: "I received a report early in the morning that your Huzhu Palace had a violent uprising in the middle of the night last night. Yingtian, what on earth is going on?"
Yun Fenghuang wanted to cooperate and hurriedly stepped forward to report: "I had a nightmare, dreaming about Xinqing!"
Hearing this, many delicate concubines in the palace let out low exclamations, and some even leaned towards the people around them... Queen Ji and other high-ranking concubines were of course still able to keep their composure, so Ji Zhaoyuan asked: "Why do you dream of seeing the Dharma?"
"I dreamed that Xinqing went back to Huzhu Palace." Yun Fenghuang said, "Then I went to Ningbi Palace, so after I woke up, I sent someone to Ningbi Palace to inform me. But Ningbi Palace's aunt said that this was all What you think about every day and dream about every night has nothing to do with Ningbi Palace..."
"How can you say this has nothing to do with it?" Ji Zhaoyuan frowned, interrupted her, turned to the queen and said, "Sister, Concubine Yue is too unruly! Who in the palace doesn't know that Xinqing drowned Yanlan Palace and Hairpin What happened to Chengyue Palace again? Both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager personally sent a message asking you to investigate thoroughly. Although Concubine Yue is in confinement, she was invited to come for questioning yesterday, right? As a result, she heard that the palace The people here reported this matter, but they were indifferent! This clearly shows that they have a guilty conscience!"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have reported it to you earlier!"
At this time, it became clear how popular Concubine Yue was. The three palaces and six courtyards gathered together, but no one spoke for her.
For a relatively reserved person like Concubine Xin, her face was as dark as water and she didn't say a word, which was considered polite.
Those who added insult to injury were just vying for the first place. Concubine Shu took advantage of the fact that the concubine was not present during the abortion. At this moment, she had the highest position besides the queen. She took the lead in saying: "Xinqing served the people of Yungui after all. She died unjustly and gave Yungui a lot of money." It’s not surprising that someone would ask for a dream. Since she entered the Ningbi Palace in the dream, could it be that... there was someone or something in the Ningbi Palace related to her death?"
Mrs. Yaoning then said: "It's just that the Yungui people have always been smart, but this time they acted recklessly! I went there last night to talk about it. I was afraid that I might have alerted the enemy. Even if there is any trace of evidence, I don't know if it can be found now? "
This person seems to be blaming Yun Fenghuang, but in fact he wants to pin the death of Xinqing, and mainly the affairs of Yanlan Palace and Chengyue Palace, on Concubine Yue: So it is not surprising even if there is no evidence in Ningbi Palace. Ah, it has been several hours since the Yungui people sent the palace servants to Ningbi Palace to report the news. Who knows what Concubine Yue did during that time
When Yun Fenghuang heard this, he couldn't help but glance at her. This girl who was a military general was tall, with a thin waist and long legs, and a graceful figure. She thought it was because she often danced swords and guns with her father and brother before entering the palace, and her skin was not unusually expensive. As fair and delicate as a woman, the soft palace dress fell on her shoulders, clearly outlining the muscles of her upper arms, giving her a unique wild style.
If this happens, Yun Fenghuang feels that he may not be able to beat her... So if he fights with this person in the future, it is better to be reasonable...
She was silent for a while, and the concubines had already denounced Concubine Yue in a circle. They quickly reached a consensus that there must be something wrong with Ningbi Palace and that it must be searched, immediately! If you can't find it, it must be that Ningbi Palace has destroyed the certificate!
"In that case, let's get someone to do it immediately." Empress Ji was very satisfied with the result. After looking around, she said, "It's just that these people in this palace still have to go to the Queen Mother to pay their respects..."
Concubine Shu hurriedly said: "My dear, Concubine Yue has a domineering temperament. If there is no high-ranking concubine in charge, I am afraid that the people below will not be able to search anywhere after they go there."
Concubine Xin immediately recommended herself: "My dearest lady, I am willing to go there!"
She is one of the people who is most anxious to find out the truth right now, not to clear herself of any suspicion. After all, given her status and family background, what if she really kills Xinqing
But she wanted to find the culprit who dared to throw dirty water at Chengyue Palace... Although she knew that everyone suspected that Concubine Yue was seeking revenge, firstly, Concubine Xin herself did not like Concubine Yue, and secondly, Concubine Yue was the only one who did not like her. I can't find any other suspected targets, so I'll go to Huzhu Palace first. Maybe I can find clues by searching
Queen Ji glanced at Concubine Xin and agreed, saying that she would help her apply for leave in front of Queen Mother Ji.
Concubine Xin thanked her and then said: "I have never been to Huzhu Palace, and what happened last night was related to the Yungui people. Please ask the empress to order the Yungui people to go with me."
The queen said: "This is natural."
Just look at Yun Fenghuang, of course Yunfenghuang is taking orders.
So Empress Ji took her concubines to Mianfu Palace, while Concubine Xin took the queen's order and ordered the maids to go back to Chengyue Palace to mobilize more people to prevent Concubine Yue from disobeying her order.
During this period, she ignored Yun Fenghuang at all, as if the words she just asked the queen to keep Yun Fenghuang to assist were not hers.
However, Concubine Xin was standing in front of Concubine Xin, a woman dressed as a palace maid, who came up to Yun Fenghuang and asked in a low voice: "Do you know what we will find out later?"
"How do you know who I am?" Yun Fenghuang glanced at her and thought to himself that we are all the emperor's concubines. Even though your master has a high position, he doesn't come if he wants to ask questions, so he just sends a servant... Who is this
Even Queen Ji doesn't have such a big spectrum.
He said calmly, "I just had a nightmare and was worried about Concubine Yue."
The palace maid noticed her displeasure, lowered her voice and apologized, saying that her mother-in-law was very angry about what happened yesterday: "I came back from Yanfu Palace last night and got so angry! The guard who was guarding the door was very angry. Everything has been neatly tidied up! This empress is usually a good-natured person, but suddenly she got angry and hurt her throat. Just now I was able to say a few words in front of the empress, but now I feel a little uncomfortable, so I can only let the maid I came to ask for advice from a noble person... Don’t be surprised if you ask a noble person for advice.”
Yun Fenghuang didn't believe this. It was probably because Concubine Xin was innocent, and the people around her helped to make up for it.
However, she also needed to use the power of Concubine Xin to achieve her goal. Since the palace maid gave her a step, she took advantage of the opportunity and said: "I see, your Majesty is really wronged! I really don't know who is so cruel and ruthless as to kill my concubine." Not to mention the palace maid who is pregnant, Yanlan Palace and Chengyue Palace were also alarmed. Fortunately, the Queen and the other two ladies were tolerant and did not suspect me, otherwise I would not have known what to do."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and then the palace maid returned to the topic and asked Yun Fenghuang's opinion... After all, this was the master who stirred up the trouble, and he was the one who had taken refuge in the queen. Today, the queen personally set up a ladder to search Ningbi. Concubine Xin’s master and servant would never believe it if she said there were no arrangements.
At this moment, I want to know the details so that I can make some plans.
It's just that Yun Fenghuang didn't actually get the Queen's instructions. She herself planned to wait until she returned to the Queen in private before making arrangements. Now she thought about it quickly and said: "Who did Xinqing's thing? I believe you ladies are aware of it." , I also know it in my heart. It’s just that... this matter always requires evidence. "
The palace maid was thoughtful and immediately said, "Thank you, Lord Yun."
Then he walked away and returned to Concubine Xin.
Concubine Xin drank tea with a cold face, while the palace maid whispered in her ear, telling Yun Fenghuang exactly what she had just said.
"So the queen has done something in the Ningbi Palace and is waiting for us to find out?" Concubine Xin sneered slightly, "She is also planning it all... She just wants to use me as a knife, so she has to ask me if I am willing! "
The palace maid whispered: "Your Majesty is not willing to wade into muddy waters, so why do you have to take the initiative to ask for help?"
"What do you know?" Concubine Xin whispered, "Whenever someone in this palace is pregnant, there will be a period of turbulent undercurrents. Especially among the newcomers this year, there is a restless one. ’s... Coupled with the regent’s youngest son Kaimeng, the former harem can no longer allow me to stay safely in Chengyue Palace! Rather than being passive when the time comes, it’s better to take the initiative.”
She thought for a moment and asked the palace maid, "Let us all be smarter later. If we discover anything, try to give the credit to that little Yunshi!"
The palace maid agreed, and was about to go to send a message to her companions when she was stopped by Concubine Xin, "Forget it, Xiao Yun has been able to let Concubine Yue ground herself so far, but it's fine. It can be seen that this trick can't trick her. "
He asked someone to go to Yanlan Palace to report a message, "Ask the imperial concubine if anyone is coming to Huzhu Palace with her. The imperial concubine also hates Concubine Yue to the core. Don't tell me, my sister, that I won't miss her if I have the chance." .”
Of course, Concubine Zheng is not a fool. Yun Fenghuang will not be fooled, and she may not be willing to fall into the trap.
The reason why Concubine Xin sent people to pass the message was, "Yesterday, Your Majesty went to Yanlan Palace, and most likely he hasn't left yet. The Concubine must know what to do."
Anyway, Emperor Chunjia cannot be allowed to appear in Huzhu Palace to disrupt the situation.
After all, although Concubine Xin didn't like Emperor Chunjia very much, she couldn't give the emperor too much face in the situation.
This is a rare opportunity to avenge private hatred and humiliate Concubine Yue. How can we not eliminate all interfering factors
Concubine Xin made some arrangements, and it happened that people from Chengyue Palace also came. All the servants were strong, and even the palace maids were big and round, with sinister faces and many of them holding sticks in their hands. They didn't look like anything. They went to search the palace, rather they went to destroy it. After all, Concubine Xin was born into a noble family. Although she harbored ill intentions toward Huzhu Palace, she was a little embarrassed when she saw this. She frowned and said, "What kind of behavior is this?"
"Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do about it." However, the leading chamberlain had a good reason and said yes, "After all, everyone in the palace now knows that the road to Huzhu Palace is not smooth. Earlier, Xinqing, the maid of the Yungui people, disappeared inexplicably. Yes! Since my wife is going to go there with her body of gold, how can the servants be so lazy?"
The sticks and sticks they brought were all for protecting Concubine Xin!
You didn’t go to Huzhu Palace intentionally to take action!
But, if this is finally used on Huzhu Palace or the people in Huzhu Palace, then... isn't this just a coincidence!
Anyway, they subjectively have no intention of going to Huzhu Palace to fight!
Concubine Xin was silent for a long time. The arrogance she had developed since childhood and the idea that she could finally take care of Concubine Yue's bitchy maid were repeatedly fighting. Finally, she acquiesced under the persuasion of the palace servants...
Yun Fenghuang looked on with cold eyes and sighed secretly. This shows how much people hate Concubine Yue... Even Concubine Xin, who grew up hearing that "I will starve to death without eating the food that comes, and I will die from thirst without drinking the water from the stolen spring". I did something against my will for her...
After all, the Yuan family in Fuyang is also a rich family. The previous generation of Queen Mother Yuan sounded like a normal daughter of a wealthy family. How come she is like this when she comes to Concubine Yue
At this moment, she couldn't help but have the same doubts as Aunt Zhu...
At this moment, Aunt Zhu, who had not slept all night, was in the Ningbi Palace as if facing a formidable enemy. She was paying attention to Concubine Yue not far away: "Did you listen to what my maid just told you?!"
